The Farsee merchants of Persia and
India are the shrewdest of all traders,
and while not agreeable to oir sense of
principle and bonoi, tbey are worth
studying as curious specimens of bu
inanity. They are fire worshipers and
have very peculiar customs. Their
burial ground in Bjmoay rcenpies
about 4'X) acres of the choicni land in
the dry, aLd Is not very far removed
from the Governor's residence. It is a
most weird and awful ejrt of a place in
some respects, though to the stranger
lis unpleasant features are hidden by a
most delightful garden. The Parser's
religion makes ft very ditlicult for him
to dispose of the dead. He must cot
bury the body lest it shall pollute the
ground, nor put it fn the water lest it
pollute the water. To turn it would
pollute the Cre and, only one method
remains to him. The cemetfry is a
large garden, filled with the moil beau
tiful tropical plants, llowers and trees,
and in the centre of I his garden ria
four curious towers, each one of which
is built over a well more than one hun-
dred feet deep. Winding stairs asceri
through these towers to the top, which
is open to the skle?. Wbea a Parsre
dies, no matter what his wealth or sta
tion, he Is taken to the cemetery accom
panied by his relatives and friends. The
body is taken to one of the towers and
left in charge of three men, who are de
voted to this work and never leave the
cemetery. All but these three men now
leave the body, which is stripped of all
its clothing and all ornaments, and car
ried to the top of the tower. The men
put it on a marble slab and then with
draw. From the moment that the funeral
procession arrives in the cemetery the
foliage of the trees begins to be disturb
ed, and huge black vultures fly around
In the air, nlighticg finally on the trees
Dearest the tower where the body lies.
Within five or ten minutes after the
body is left on the slab in the tower the
air around is Hack with vultures. Then
the vultures fly away again to roost in
the beautiful foliage of the surrounding
trees, while the men go back, and. tak
ing the bcnea which remain on the slab,
every morsel of flesh having been re
moved, throw them down into the well
at the bottom cf the tower. At the
bottom of this well is a layer of char
coal and lime. In the rainy sea3on the
rain comes down Into the tower, dripping
upon these bones and through the char
coal and lime, while 10 dry weather wa
ter is pumped in by artificial means.
When tliis water finally emerges, a con
siderable distance away into a natural
stream, it carries with it nuty a slight
chemical, as clean as the earth itself,
while of the bones in the well, not a
particle retoilcs.
A Mory of It:u I't ilro.
Dr. Sellwis, the famous ocuMst,
while lecturing to Ms students at
Velnna, to'd a prtty s'ory of D m
Tedn of llr7 '. II si'il thnf. he had
had nicy opportunities of rrr.vr'ir

highest character and of grfit cn'fure,

dition of hi i- oj If. I . was one of his
dearest wishes '-ave a big hospital in
llio, but he lacked the money where
with to build it, and the wealthy could
not in induced to subscribe. Then an
Idea crac to him, as It had to tl.n Em
peror Joseph nearer ho one, and he began
to bestow titles. Any man who wa3
willing to give a good round sum to
the hospital could call h'melf Count,
Viscount or Caron. The patent of no
bility was not hereditary, and if the
children wished to inherit the father's
title they had to pay over again. li'o was
suidenly peopled with nobles, and the
hospital was built on a grand scale ;
and when it was completed Dom lVdro
had the foil iwirg inscription placed
over its gates: "Vanitas Humana
Miser ku IIumar:u". (IlumanVanity to
Human M'sery.)

have very largely developed, but in a

1L excessive ccurtesy. They even go
so far that when a p'rsin readirjr a

How Cablegrams are Transmitted.
With the first long submarine eabl?a
sreat difficulties were encountered in
sending through them a current of elec
tricity of sufficient power to record the
messages rapidly. The methods for
overcoming these difficulties and in use
at present are described as follows :
Kys, which, when depressed, trans
mit positive and negative currents, are
employed at tie sending sta'lon in con
nection with the regulation battery.
Te current of the battery does not pass
directly into the cable, but into a con
denser, which passes it Into the snbma
rine line. This greatly increases the
force of the current used and serves to
cat off Interfering ground currents.
The Instrument first emp'.oyed In re
eeivite cablferams was a reflecting
galvarometer. Upm the magnet ol tbis
Instrument Is carried a small curved
mirror. A lamp Is placed before the
mirror and behind a screen in whicn
there is a v?rl ical slit.
Flashes of lieht moving across this
slit as the needles moved from left t
rizbr. Indicated to the trained eyes of
the operator the letters in the message
beini? transmitted. But this metnoa or
recording messages was found to tax
the eesicht of the operator severely, a
few years work often rendering mem
almost if not totally blind. It 'cogniz
ing the fact that there must be some
thing wrong with snch a system, in
ventors set about repairing the dereci,
which resulted In perfecting the syphon
galvanom-ter, which has all but super
ced all other receiving devices.
In the svohon receiver the movements
of the needle are recorded by means of
Ink spurted from a fine tube. This iud
is attached to a coil suspended between
two fixed magnete, which swings to the
right or left as the pulsations pass
through It. The syphon galyanometer
is a zreat improvement : la not hard on
the eyes and enables the operator to re-
ceive much more rapidly than witn me
old flash receiver.
lie Mood the Test Bravely.
A "Woodward avecuo dentist received
a call tbe other morning from r. couple.
whom he 8tori had reason to beliave
were lovers. The girl had an aching
tooth, and as they entered the office, the
young man said :
'Now, darling, the worst is over,
Just take a seat, and it will be out in a
minute."
"Oh ! I daren't" she gasped.
'But It really don't hnrt you aoy

Uut I'm arraid It will."
"Itcan'r. I'd have one pulled In
minute if It ached."
"I don't bwlievn it."
"Oh, ys, I would."
'Has he ff;jt a bad tooth ?" asked
the dentist.
"Yes, sir : it has ached for a week
and I've j'ist sticceded getMrg her

"But yon must."

Tie took a seat, leaned hack and
opened his mouth, and the dentist
seemed fo be selectirjr a tooth to seizi
with his forcpw, when the girl protest
ed:
"Hold .ml Tha test is euffiiient.
He has proved his devotion. Gat out,
Harry, and I'll have It pu'ld."
She took the chair, had the tooth
drawn without a groan, and as she went
out she w,s sayinpf to the young man :
"Now I can believe you when yoo
declare that you would die for me."
And vet every tooth in his head was

Edison's Simple Ways.
Edison is a Count, a millionaire and
the most famous living inventor. His
present wealth, whiah amounts to
many millions is as nothing: to what it
will be in the next few years ; but be
stills works away in his laboratory, and
comes forward to greet you In just such
a suit of clothes as be wore twenty
years seo. As compared with Edison's
dingy little shop of twenty years ago,
out at Menlo Park, in which he used to
et his bread and cheese seated on an
old packing-box, talklnsr over the work
In hand with his two or three workmen,
tbe present surroundings are fabulous.
Iy luxurious. Everything shows un
bounded means, which may be lbs
case when we remember that his fa
mous laboratory costs ? 200. 000 a year
to maintain. Bnt the master rrind is
still the same. When he works It
means work for his men. In the old
days at Menlo Park it was no uncom
mon thing for him to remain at the
beuch for forty-!ght hours at a stretch,
sending one of the boys for crackers
and cheese whn he felt hungry, and
not giving up until his assistants
had actually fell asleep standing up.
To day he la just as interested.
Aa llephant Remembers a Friend.
Ac elephant attached to Worn well's
menagerie was treated in Gloucester
shire, England, by a droggist for inter
nal spasm. The animal recovered and
duly drrted from the town. This
was in 1S70. But in 1S79. when tbe
druggist stood at his shop door to watcb
the menagerie again enter the town, the
elephant crossed tha street, advanced
to the man of drugs, placed his trunk
in his band and grunted agreeably to
show his remembrance of past kindness.
At night in visiting tbe menagerie tbe
elephant drew tha druggist's attention
to her side, to which a blister bad been
applied nine veara before. Ia 1S81 tbe
elephant again entered the towu. Ke
cognizing her chemist friend iu the au
dience, she lifted bim gently off his feet
t y means of her trunk and drew bis at
tention to one or her forelegs. The
ketper explained that the limb bad
been Unced by a veterinary surgeon
and th apparently she was comparing
notes of the difference between the
aentler blister of her friend and tbe
procedure of the surgeon. Ic ia cot
often that services are so loLg and
gratefully remembered either by quad
rupeds or "ths paragon of animals"
himself.

A Horse's Sense of Smell.
The horse will leavt mus'y hay on
touched In bis bin, however hungry.
He will notdrink water objectionable to
his questioning sniff, or from a bucket
which some odor makes offensive',
however thirs'y. His Intelligent nos
tril will widen, quiver and query over
tbe daintiest bit offered by the fairest
of hands, with coaxings that would
cake a mortal shut his f yo and swal
low a nauseous mouthful at a gulp.
A mare is never satisfied by either
sight or whinny that a colt is really her
own, ontil she has a certified nasal cer
tificate to the fact. A blind horse,
now living, will not allow the approach
of any stranger without ehowing sitne
of anger not safely to be disregarded.
The distinction is evidently made Sy bis
sense of smell, and at a considerable
distance. Blind borse, as a rule, will
gallop wildly about a pasture without
striking the surrounding fence. Th
sense of sunll informs them of its prox
imlty. Others will, when loosened from
the stable, go directly to the gate
or bars opened to their accustomed feed
ing grounds, and when desiring to re
turn, after boars of careless wandering.
will distingaiab one outlet and patient
ly await its opening. The odor of that.
particular part of tbe fence is their pi
lot to it.
Tbe horse in browsing, or while gath
ering herbage with Us lips, is guided in
Its choice of proper food entirely by its
nostrils. Blind horses do not make
mistakes m their diet. In tbe temple
of Olympus a bronze horse was exhibit
ed, at tbe 8'ght of which six real borses
experienced tbe most violent emotions.
Aelian judiciously observes that the
moat perfect art could not imitate na
ture sufficiently well to produce bo
strong an illusion. Like Pliny and
Pausanius, he consequently affirms that
in casting tbe statue a magician had
thrown Uippomanes upon it," which
by the odor of the plant deceived the
horses, and therein we have the secret
oi tne miracle, ine scent alone or a
buffalo robe will cause many horses to
evince lively terror, and tbe floating
scent of a railroad train will frighten
some loug after tbe locomotive is out of
sight and bearing.
A Curious Oil.
A well of mineral oil was recently
discovered near Bowling, Green, Ky.,
bj. Ebenezir Cathcart, owner of a truck
garaen, wnne boring lor water. It is
so clear as to be nearlv transparent, of
a beantifnl pale pink color, and, while
entirely odorless when cold, if heated
highly emits a most delicions odor, re
sembling somewhat attar of roses,
though more deticate and eubtle. An
experiment was tried with a smal
quantity to test its burning properties
when it waa found to burn elowlv and
s'eadily, giving a soft, clear, lambut
fldme.,Bhedding a faint rose colored
ugniana Lining ine air witn a pene
trating fragrance.
When the oil was consumed, at t!
bottom of tbe vessel was found a depos
it of a Dumber of hard, minute particles
looking Iik grains of fine s'.one-colored
sand, which exploded on being placed
in water, with incredible violence wLu-n
the sizs of the particlt-s is taking into
consideration. The oil aud iis precipi
tate are now being carefully ana'jzod
and experimented with by the chemists
here, whose opinion as to their proper
ties Is being anxiously waited for, for
tbe beauty of the light the oil gives, its
delicious perfume and the highly ex
plosive quality of tbe precipitate left
all seem to point to a discovery of im
mense value to tbe scientific if not to
the commercial world.
It Has All Right.
A th!n cate worn-looking man, hav-
iD a t and ublet iu bia D!Dd
called at a house in one of our cities tue
other day, and said to tbe lady as she
opened the door :
'Madam, I am canvassing for sub
scriptions for a poor family. "Will you
put your name down for a Bmall
sum ?"
Yes. Indeed."
"Do you know tbem personally.?"
I do, ma'am."
"And they are really in need "r"
"They certainly are."
'Very well I'll give yoa a quart
j ter.
I i
She put ber name down and banded
bim tbe money, and be bad reached tbe
cate when she called bim back and said :
"It bos just occurred to me that this
might be voor own family."
"Exactly, ma'am. It is my family,
but modesty forbade me to say so. I
am not ooe who seeks to push himself,
though I would doubtless get along
better if I was. Thank you ma'am, I
know the family, and assure vou it is
all right I"
A Conscience-Stricken Hog.
There wae a sad case of breach of
trust in Atlanta tbe other day. An old
blind man was being led down Mariet
ta street by a dog just al tbe time when
tbe sidewalks were moat crowded and
tbe roadway was full of vehicles. Long
experience bad taught the blind man to
trust his four-footed guide, and he went
along feeling certain that be would be
led into no danger. Suddenly a t em i ling
bone a few feet from tbe sidewalk at
tracted the dog's attention. lie looked
at it wistfully for a moment, and then,
unable to withstand the temptation, be
went after it. Unconscious of danger,
tbe blind man followed thedog, aud be
fore anv one could put out a band to
save bim ha was under the feet of a
passing horse. The driver nulled his
team just ia time, and the blind man
escaped with hi? hat knocked off. Re-
morce must have immediately seized
the dog, for be led the blind man back
to the siJewa'k aud refused to look at
the bone again.
